Another sexual health myth was busted. Contrary to popular opinion, Circumcision does not protect men from Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs). This was revealed in a study by New Zealand researchers on 499 men of which 40% were circumscribed. 23.4% of circumscribed men reported having had any type of sexual disease by age 32. This was 23.5% in uncircumcised men. Researchers took sexual behaviours and socioeconomic factors into consideration.

Most common Sexual Transmitted diseases:

1. Genital warts.
 

2. Chlamydia.
 

3. Genital herpes.

This research study was published in the Journal of Pediatrics. Another study by New Zealand researchers found 50% reduction in getting STDs in circumscribed men.

Scientific community has divided opinion on the health benefits of Circumcision and its role in attaining sexual satisfaction. Nerve rich foreskin plays vital role in getting sexual orgasm in uncircumcised men but it also cause pain in some men during intercourse.
